To make it worse and more cringeing, we’re among the few who think this self-abasing fawning is worth donating to:

But while Mr Rudd has generously funded the slave trade memorial, there are real fears the idea will remain on the drawing board, with less than 25 per cent of the required funding so far being pledged by global powers.

And this excuse simply exposes how craven the whole exercise is:

Gary Quinlan, a former adviser to Mr Rudd, told the UN in December that Australia would provide about a further $70,000 after pledging $83,000 in 2010.

“We need to recognise the dark side of our own history and bring it into the light,” Australia’s Ambassador to the UN said.

This week Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has invited Professor Ekmelledin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to discuss “Transition and Change: The OIC and the Islamic World”

Once the scale becomes sufficiently massive, wasting other people’s money must actually be difficult. Otherwise, our rulers wouldn’t have to resort to absurdities like Shrillary’s recent announcement that taxpayers will be looted for $50 million to spend oncookstoves for the Third World.

There’s more to this than coercive charity. According to the bizarre collection of delusions that serves moonbats for a belief system, improper cookstoves make it be too hot out.

What it touches on, other than our pocketbooks and Detchon’s long list of BS, is liberals’ ultimate dream: a world government under the boot of which you can’t so much as boil a hot dog without Shrillary Rotten and Ban-Ki Moonbat telling you how it must be done. One $50 million step at a time, they’re getting there. (Moonbattery)

Global KRudd

When KRudd goes global, you know it costs you dearly:

Australia’s new Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, joined US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and billionaire philanthropist Melinda Gates to announce that Australian, American and British aid agencies would join forces with the Gates Foundation in a new alliance to deliver …… whatever…… to the worlds neediest… in KRudd we trust…..

KRudd meets US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington. Mrs Clinton confirmed she will visit Australia in November.
He and Mrs Clinton had discussed the flood crisis in Pakistan after he had visited the country’s stricken areas on his way to Washington, and offered $40 million in Australian relief aid.

Looks like Kevni is a little behind the times: John Holdren, one of Obama’s czars, Â has Â determined that ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ are now superseded by “global climate disruption”, no s#*t!

(FOX News) From the administration that brought you “man-caused disaster” and “overseas contingency operation,” another terminology change is in the pipeline.

The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.

White House science adviser John Holdren urged people to start using the phrase during a speech last week in Oslo, echoing a plea he made three years earlier. Holdren said global warming is a “dangerous misnomer” for a problem far more complicated than a rise in temperature.Â More…

High compliance costs and interference by Labor kill tourism in Australia

Australia has out priced itself as a holiday destination.

QUEENSLAND tourism operators are facing the fight of their lives to lure holidaymakers, who are increasingly shunning domestic beach holidays in favour of cheap deals to places such as Bali, Fiji and Thailand. (News com)

Australian Council of Trade Unions appointed, Australian Prime Minister,former member of the “Gang of Four” Madame Gillard seen here in Party Garb, on a visit to the Australian Labor Party’s ideological homeland, Communist China.

Beijing’s former highest ranking official in Australia and Prime Minister of Australia,Lu Kewen aka. Kevin 07 Rudd,” # 1 Citizen” of the previous Union Financed Labor Government, Madam Gillard’sÂ predecessor, often quoted Labor’s ideological sole mate Mao Tse Tung, the progressive lefts most infamous mass murderer and despot’s invocation to the people of China soon after slaughtering his opponents and seizing power “Let a hundred flowers bloom” (Lu Kewen insisted on saying let a thousand flowers bloom)
The internet has indeed let a “Hundred Flowers bloom”, different thought’s and ideas are now out there in the Blogosphere, and just like Mao Tse Tung, those seeking fighting, to hold the DEATH SWORD of International Socialism, have been monitoring those Flowers Blooming and what those “flowers ” had to say on the internet these last 15 years or so.

Names addresses and telephone numbers of the authors their wives, husbands and children, and every word ever written on any and ALL Blogs.
Letters to the editor and email, the flowers have indeed BLOOMED, the internet has invited “open and frank” discussion, unlike the days when Mao Tse Tung’s operatives had to listen into every conversation in a Cafe ,public park bus, train or University Lecture or private conversation between husband and wife or parent and child, those deemed to be ” Counter Revolutionary” are easily identified by their writings on the internet and just likeÂ Mao Tse Tung’s gangs of roving “Revolutionaries” and “right thinkers” aka. butchers thugs and mass murderers did to China’s hundred blooming flowers, so to will his ideological descendants Madame Gillard and the Australian Labor Party and their Bankers and Financiers the Australian Council of Trade Unions.So what did Mao Tse Tung do after he surveyed his Hundred Blooming Flowers? he simply slaughtered every Flower that did not bloom according to HIS aka. “The Party” proscribed ideology, in fact he made his Communist Party “Flowers” the only “Flowers” allowed to BloomÂ in China.

Madame Gillard is about to shut down the internet in Australia, Australians will have the same access to the internet as do citizens / comrades of Iran, North Korea, Cuba, China and Venezuela

She’s coming for your white goods, and will have your power company demanding to be let in your house to check you’re green:

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard will nail down the final plank of her election platform by taking a new climate change policy to Cabinet within days.

UPDATE. “What a joke!” comments DB. “ABARE’sÂ Energy in Australia 2010 report shows that residential energy consumption is just seven per cent of Australia’s total energy consumption. This looks like another ‘problem’ that does not need a solution.”

THE federal government’s freeze on the processing of Sri Lankan and Afghan asylum seekers has slowed the influx of boat people, evidence suggests, withÂ arrivals down by almost a quartersince the decision was made.
